Abstract
Previous studies showed that same-hospital readmission is associated with better outcomes than different-hospital readmission. However, little is known about whether readmission to the same care unit (same-care unit readmission) after infectious hospitalization performs better than readmission to a different care unit at the same hospital (different-care unit readmission).
